Fire Protection and Prevention During Construction
Overview
Construction planning is a daunting task.
There are schedules and manpower estimates to complete, planning for
material receipt and storage, fabrication and erection sequences to plan.
The list goes on…. With all
there is to do, fire protection and prevention may not be at the top of the
construction engineer’s list of concerns.
However, thousands of fires occur on construction sites each year,
sometimes resulting in loss of life and substantial property loss.
This course will review OSHA's Fire Protection
and Prevention standards contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (29CFR
Part 1926, Subpart F). These
standards contain the requirements for fire protection and prevention on
construction sites.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz
consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of the course to earn PDH
credits.
